  • How is oil extracted?
  • Traditional methods of extraction are described below, followed by higher output manual machines and mechanised extraction. Oil is extracted from fresh coconut, olives, palm fruit shea nut etc. by separating the flesh and boiling it in water. Salt is added to break the emulsion and the oil is skimmed from the surface.
  • What is the difference between husking & groundnut oil extraction?
  • 1 See Technical Brief: ‘Soapmaking’. Dehusking is important to give high yields of oil and reduce the bulk of material to be processed` but in groundnut oil extraction about 10% by weight of husk should be added back to the nuts to allow oil to escape more freely from the press.
  • How to remove oil from raw materials?
  • There are basically three methods of removing oil from the raw materials: solvent extraction, wet processing or dry processing. Solvent extraction is not suitable for small-scale processing because of high capital and operating costs, the risk of fire and explosions from solvents and the complexity of the process.
  • How does a motorised oil extraction system work?
  • Expellers are Figure 5a: Animal powered extraction Figure 5b: motorised extraction continuous in operation and work by grinding and pressing the raw material as it is carried through a barrel by a helical screw (Figure 6a). The pressure inside the barrel, and hence the yield of oil, are adjusted using a ‘choke’ ring at the outlet.
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • Oil is extracted from fresh coconut, olives, palm fruit shea nut etc. by separating the flesh and boiling it in water. Salt is added to break the emulsion and the oil is skimmed from the surface. In palm oil processing the fruit is first heated in a ‘digester’.
  • Where can I find information about coconut oil production?
  • Also an Agric/Caris magazine. website of the National Institute of Oilseed Products, has an international membership of companies, including processors, equipment suppliers, importers and exporters. has details of coconut oil production as part of a Small Enterprise Development programme.
